Insights on enterprise AI, automation, and Odoo from the Trobz AI team.
PPTX is structured XML, so it should be easy to read — and it still isn't. A deck's meaning is spatial: split across slides, hidden in speaker notes, locked in charts and image-only slides. Here's how to convert one to clean Markdown without dropping it.

Claude Code becomes a lot more useful when it can read your actual Odoo data. Five minutes of setup — install the public skills plugin, configure odooly.ini — and your agent goes from guessing to querying.
Your best Odoo developer has a prompt they retype every morning, and it lives nowhere but their head. A skill is how you take that knowledge out of the chat box and make it reusable.
Security needs to be part of RAG chatbot design from day one. Here's how guardrails work, where to place them, and how to handle them without leaking information to attackers.
Basic RAG breaks in predictable ways. Here's how we replaced a pile of conditional patches with an agentic graph pipeline, and what it actually cost in latency, complexity, and accuracy.
A distribution company hired us to automate purchase order approvals with AI. Two weeks later, we told them not to. Here's why that was the right outcome — and what we built instead.

In a long Claude Code session, most tokens go to re-reading conversation history, not generating output. Here is how to measure and fix that.
Most AI consultancies deliver a slide deck and call it discovery. We deliver a running system. Here's what happens in the 14 days between kickoff and go/no-go.
Collaborative filtering on your existing sale.order.line data is enough to build a working product recommendation engine — no external ML platform, no separate vector database. Here's how to implement it end-to-end inside Odoo eCommerce.

On April 23, the Trobz team attended the Alibaba Cloud AI Growth Workshop in Ho Chi Minh City: a morning of sharp insights on cloud infrastructure, Qwen AI models, and what Generative AI looks like at global scale.
Em dashes have become the most-cited tell of AI writing. Search-and-replace is the wrong fix — the problem is the sentence structure underneath them.

Trobz has accumulated over 8,000 photos across 15 years of events, trips, and photoshoots. We built an AI-powered search tool to find and rank the best ones — so we can stop relying on stock photos for our own blog.
Most AI roadmaps start with the technology. The ones that actually ship start with a specific process that's costing someone real hours every week.

Claude Code goes sideways once its context window fills past 40%. Research, Plan, Implement: three sessions, three files, keeps it on track.
A 200-person services firm was spending 3,000+ staff-hours a year manually keying expense receipts into Odoo. Here's the Document AI pipeline that cut that to near zero.

I tested two popular MCP web search servers, Tavily and Brave Search, while building AI agents with Claude. Here's what I found, with real benchmark numbers and a clear recommendation.
Several MCP implementations exist for connecting AI assistants to Odoo. The tooling is improving fast. Authentication is the hardest part to get right.
Vendors claim their ERP is "AI-native." The phrase means nothing precise and obscures the question that actually matters: does the integration layer let you connect AI capabilities as they evolve?

Odoo SA and the OCA take fundamentally different approaches to integrating AI. One bundles AI into the platform. The other keeps it deliberately outside. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Five production-ready n8n workflows for Odoo Finance: invoice reminders, reconciliation alerts, budget notifications, expense routing, and month-end triggers — all built on the same JSON-RPC pattern.

n8n + Odoo 18 automation that flags confirmed but uninvoiced sales orders: one consolidated email every 15 minutes, not one per order.
Traditional monolithic ERP systems were not designed to absorb AI capabilities incrementally. Composable ERP, built from interchangeable API-connected modules, is the architecture that makes it possible.
